Description Martin Žember 2015-06-19 21:04:19 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1104210 +++

Consider adding support of stdin/pipes to RHEL-7. There is a patch but for another branch of wireshark code. There is a test in QE that manifests the lack of this feature:

:: [   FAIL   ] :: Command 'tshark -c 20000 -r <(xzcat wireshark-large.pcapng.xz) 2>error_log | sed -n '20000p' >stdout_log' (Expected 0, got 2)
:: [  BEGIN   ] :: Running 'cat error_log'
Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous.
tshark: The file "/dev/fd/63" appears to be damaged or corrupt.
(pcapng_read_block: total block lengths (first 264 and second 17301504) don't match)

Hi,

wireshark support for reading from stdin/pipes. This would increase performance of some of our internal production tools significantly. 

Peter Hatina has already prepared a patch addressing this issue:
